cutting volume is one of the most important things to avoid injury during a cut. Your caloric intake is less which means your recovery is less. Cut volume. Be it through cutting intensity (using less weight) or cutting out sets but keeping high repititions.

High reps are harder to recover from...... especially when caloric intake is low...... you god damn virgin

we must have a different definition of high repititons. and no actually they are not when appropriate weights are selected. for example if for one of your bench days your usual is 5x12-15 reps with a chosen weight, and you decide to start cutting but follow your same program, my example is that dropping from 5x12-15 to 3x12-15 would reduce overall volume but keep your higher rep scheme while putting you at a lower risk for injury and allowing you to maintain your muscle mass and strength as it has provided enough hypertrophy. Anything above 8 to me is high reps but hey, im a powerlifter so fuck me right? I dont know about you but 5x10 at a moderate weight is not fatiguing at all whereas heavy singles 90%+ fuckin wrecks me out for atleast 48 hours. but hey who actually posts useful anecdotal evidence on the internet either? to each their own right? gotta curl in the squat rack to confuse the legs aye faggt?

No need to go upset, I too voted for Trump.

If you think doing barbell movements 'heavy' is an excuse to be obese then lol just lol at you

I don't think doing 8 reps is going to have any affect on you fat powerlifters, let me list why


- you bounce the bar off your tummy with ur fat
- you have fake strength with ur triple ply gear
- you take steroids
- you have 16 inch arms but all pure fat
- you don't hit depth on your squats

LOL UMAD? even sent me a message i didnt read. apparently you have never heard of training cycles or linear periodization?
Geared powerlifting is but one of the many divisions of powerlifting.
benching in competition is done with a clear stop or pause before the press command is given.
arm size is irrelevant to powerlifting as is body fat percentage. powerlifters do what they do to move the most weight possible not to look like a fairy in a speedo.
squats are done to depth regardless of category IE raw/classic raw/single ply/multi ply lifting. Any passing of high squats is the responsibility of the judges and the federation not the lifters.
there are drug tested and non tested divisions for a reason.

Dont act like a dick hole when you know nothing of the sport. heres some shit brownies to feed you, troll. still 0/10
